Some cards are that way though, the SoundBlaster AWE Pnp is one (I think),
and I KNOW the Supra Express 288iPnP is one (I have one of those and can't
use the modem under Linux...at least not unless I want to do something
stupid like use loadlin to boot Linux under umsdos filesystem). PnP
development is a _MUST_ for Linux to be usable on most of the systems that
are currently selling.
My one cent...
